Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1887-05-06

untll thursday evening, ana then only
part of it, There is great deal of room
for improvement in the Williamsport-
Livona mail service. 1t is getting to be
altogether too much of a 60 o-as-you-please
affair.
Where is our Glencoe correspondent,
"Rustler?' Will some kind resident on
the Grampian Hills please wind him up
and set him a-going agaln7 ["Speak of
the ID" etc. Within an hour after the
above was in type the mail brought q let
ter from the missing one
1t is hardly necessary to call the atten-
ton of our citizens to the fact that the
drug firm of Dunn s. Co., opposite the
Sheridan House, Bismarck, keeps on
hand at Ill times a'large stock of fresh
and pure drugs, which will be sold at the
lowest prices. Give the firm call and
be convinced of the fact.
<>Monday was u very windy day. A
dusty substance filled the air, and was
piled up in places--around buildngs--to
II height of two or three feet. 1t much
rescmbled a substance known as "snow,"
that sometimes falls from the clouds, and
which some of our fellow.citizens may
have noticed on the ground during the
past winter.
L<Our Mcintosh and Mcpherson county
exchanges which arrived last evening re-
port men and teams at work all along the
line bewcen Aberdeen and Napoleon. II
is now thought certain that the bonus
asked by the A., B. s. N. w. company
from the people of Bismarck will be
raised, and work begin at once between
Bismarck anG Aberdeen.
Another letter came to the RECORD yes
terday marked ''misscnt." Under present
arrangements it takes about week to
get a letter here from the south end of
the county, and those mlssent generally
get here inside Of a month. It. is reported
that the postmaster at Livona has more
work in changing mails than he can
properly attend to.
For few days it was thought that the
Ebirds had stolen the seed on some thirty
acres Of DR.. Keop's tree-claim, which it
was impossible to harrow in for day or
two after the storm, the ground being too
wet. Buta closer inspection showed that
the sleet and rainiha nd washed into the
ground most of the wheat the. seeder
failed to cover, and the piece was there
fore narrowed without reseeding.
t>For the benefit of the scholars who
miss an occasional Sunday, and want 10
post up for the next. we will, if it prove
of any convenience to the members of
the Sabbath schools in this and adjacent
neighborhoods, hereafter publish the
lesson text for the succeeding Sunday.
AT any rate, the verses might catch the
eyes of the editors of some of our Demo
cratic exchanges, and thus be the means
Of their absorbing knowledge they would
most likely acquire in no other way.
Esquire Dougherty has purchased
eight water-barrels, and says he will line
u we'll with them. Some of the boys say
this statement is q blind, and that he in
tends to start soap factory. He will
. collect all the old trousers, overalls ETC.,
from the various bachelors shacks in the
neighborhood, extract the grease from the
garments, and return them in good shape,
free Of charge. The Squire will thus
procure the necessary fat for his business.
These barrels constitute the first "plant"
for manufacturing purposes in this part
of the county, and we are glad to see our
enterprisilg+ capitalists taking hold
Slowly but;sureiy the country improves
mir. John Kurtz got up Monday morn
ing, looked out and saw the blizzard.
Then he bethought him of calf which
was sxpicketed about 400 yards from the
self, ~ will array myself in my blizzard
proof habiliments, HE me to the rescue
r Of the youthful bovine, and tow it to a
| place of shelter" But. after getting out
, of doors he concluded to make tour OF
the farm--likewise of his neighbors'
farms. Some may think he was lost, but
this is not so he knew where he was all
the time-was perfectly confident that he
was within the borders of Emmons
County. But after an hour or so of pc
destrian exercise he finally walked up
against hfs own house. The bovinette
came through all right, having, when
|, found, just made the last "chaw' neces
sary to rend its cable in twain. Wrestling
with blizzard is all very funny--after il
is over.
